Fort Wayne, Indiana (April 25, 2021) – Since being taken into custody early Thursday morning, the suspect in this incident, Justin R. Weikel, 40, of LaOtto, has remained in a Fort Wayne area hospital receiving medical care until early yesterday afternoon.

The Indiana State Police investigation surrounding the events that led to police action shooting remains ongoing. Again, once that investigation is finished, the full report will be turned over to the Noble County Prosecutor for review and determination of criminal charges to be filed.
There is no further information to release at this time.
